By all accounts, he's a pretty good guy according to the local media. Felt really good for him the contribute after missing the WS due to TJ surgery. He made that bullpen even more potenent. I believe he's a FA this year.

A kid who I don't even know if he posts here anymore labeled him a bust because he wasn't a breakout star like two years after being drafted

I remember reading that thread, lol. Who feels dumb now?

On a side note, I met Luke during his holdout year at a local ballpark while he was a volunteer coach for a local private school, and I was umpiring HS ball at the time. He is a super nice guy and was always positive with his pitchers even though none of them could break a pane of glass. I think they used 4 pitchers that day.

read thru most of the 16+pages.......the guy calling him a bust out of the gate is still active on the boards. He did later say that he LH would only be a 2-3 starter at best.

All I know is the Royals gave him a 16.5 million contract with 10 million guaranteed, they evidently feel that he's worth something to the club. Good for LH!

I know likes don't matter, but how do you go 19k+ posts and only have 6 likes? He must be a real debby downer.
